@rcarpadus You have to be able to access the root directory of your website. First off, this is something that you definitely do not want to mess with if you don’t know about websites as incorrectly altering this file will break your website.

Get help from your webhost if you need.

The .htaccess file is just a notepad file, but you save the file exactly as .htaccess. It will look similar to this (don’t use this text, it could be wrong for your site):

All of the redirects are written at the top of the file, like the first line below:

*****

Redirect 301 /category/merchandise-right hand http://yoursite.com/merchandise-right

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

</IfModule>

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

*****

I think it’s either time to move to a new plug in, or write all of the redirects directly in the .htaccess file of the sites.

Oh, ok. Thanks much.

Yep, it’s definetly the template I’m using: Adventure. I switched to Twenty Eleven and I don’t have the above difficulties.

I’m going to leave this post ‘not resolved’ for a few to see if there are any comments.

Thanks.
